The Martian: Classroom Edition NOW AVAILABLE!

Since its publication, The Martian (Broadway Books) has captivated readers with its charismatic narrator, fascinating—and accurate!—use of science, and engaging story of perseverance. With its compelling narrative and scientific content, the book is perfectly suited for both language arts and STEM curriculums.

However, we have been receiving feedback from some teachers regarding the language used in the book. You’ve talked, and we’ve listened: it is with great excitement that we now announce the availability of The Martian: Classroom Edition. Featuring classroom-appropriate language, discussion questions and activities, and a Q&A with Andy Weir himself, this edition is now available wherever books are sold

Additionally, our website and blog feature further resources to make teachers’ lives just a little bit simpler. An essay by Andy Weir discusses the book’s ability to double as both novel and science textbook. We also have created a Teacher’s Guide aligned with the Common Core State Standards. For print copies of our Teacher’s Guide, please email highschool@penguinrandomhouse.com. If you are considering (or reviewing) the book for classroom use, please email us for a free review copy.
